Purpose
In recent years, there have been significant changes in the global approach to Air Traffic Management
(ATM) and for aviation in the Middle East and North Africa. Among the many influencing factors, is
the unprecedented rapid growth of regional aviation that is straining ATM capabilities and spurring
various localized nation re-planning efforts. Most notably for ATM is the adoption of the International
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) development of the Aviation
System Block Upgrade (ASBU) approach to ATM evolution and implementation of formalized Safety
Management System (SMS), resulting in shifts in how Air Navigation Services are provided.
The regional Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) and aviation authorities have developed
strategic plans to address the growing needs. There are, however, substantial challenges in being able to
accommodate effectively the anticipated aviation growth and expectations of its stakeholders. Some
areas of the current regional ATM system are already experiencing extended periods of airborne holding
or ground departure delays. To mitigate these and other inefficiencies, there is a need to increase
airspace capacity, provide increased access to airports, improve efficiency for both aviation system
customers and ANSPs and reduce environmental impacts while continuing to maintain, foster, and
promote safety. Specific objectives include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Increase airspace capacity to meet future demand requirements
Increase access to airports
Improve airspace safety and efficiency
Reduce environmental impact of increasing traffic by providing improved ATM operations
Improve interoperability between ANSPs to foster seamless services across borders
As a result, the Arab Civil Aviation Commission (ACAC) launched a new study that obtains an update
to a similar previous effort from 2005. To accomplish this study, input of information and data from
several stakeholder sources is required. While data requests have been previously submitted to the
ACAC ANSPs, this effort is focused on the regional operator and their interactions with the ACAC FIRs
and their perspective of the services rendered by those FIRs.
This request for information is submitted to the Arab Air Carriers’ Organization (AACO) as a result of
an ACAC conference held on December 14, 2016, where strong project support was provided by all
attending conference members.
The AACO community is well positioned to provide significant first-hand information, from a customer
perspective, on ACAC FIR service availability and its delivery. As illustrated below in Figure 1, the
ACAC jurisdictional airspace and the AACO constituent representational base are nearly identical. This
parallel organizational and operational environment provides a natural nexus of the service provider and
the service customer where exchanges of meaningful project information could be obtained.
The questions offered below are intended to provide the project contract team with the necessary data
needed to obtain an overall customer perspective of operations within the ACAC region.
This ATM Study Update intends to collect and aggregate data and trends that would be used by ACAC
to develop both near-term requirements and longer term strategic needs to formulate a master plan for
regional air navigation service provision through 2030.

Questionnaire Outline
This data request is divided into 5 core data collection categories (Table 1) and one optional category.
The core categories reflect those categories that will provide the data that will become the focus of the
ACAC CNS/ATM Study Update & Strategic Planning. One optional category allows AACO to include
any additional information that would support the advancement of this project.
Each question is identified by its category and question number. This format will assist in the data
compilation, and support the development of a reusable database. Each category has an option for the
responder to add any additional information that could be relevant to this effort.

Instructions
This questionnaire is developed in Microsoft© Word Document format and is open to the respondent for
edits. Questions are highlighted in GREY as indicated:
(FG-1): Please identify the AACO strategic vision and goals for the North Africa and Middle East
regions in the following time frames: (please be as specific as possible)
The principal method of data insertion will be accomplished by using ‘tables’ as respondent input
locations. The tables have been formatted to accept input and ‘expand’ as data is inserted.
SAMPLE responses are highlighted in RED as indicated:
Table 2: SAMPLE Response

FIR/ACC
SAMPLE Where does this condition exist and why
HXXX
This facility requires very strict use of preferred routings that are established only by
the ANSP within its entire airspace
CXXX
This facility has large volumes of Special Activity Airspace (SAA) but with limited or
no Flexible Use Airspace (FUA) procedures
DXXX
This facility’s airway structure is outdated and does not meet the current city pair
demands between CXXX and HXXX , DXXX-OXXX, and OXXX-CXXX
For questions without tables, the method of data insertion will be accomplished by using manual text
input in the areas highlighted in YELLOW as indicated:
Insert Response Here:
Following each question and table is an opportunity for the respondent to add any additional
information—this insertion will be accomplished by adding text.
Each new Category is paginated by ‘section’, which will allow for the automatic movement to the next
page as information is added to previous sections.
Data Delivery Means and Procedures:
To ensure ease and security of data transmission from AACO to the Project team, a SECURE File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) site has been established for the AACO Point of Contact (POC). This FTP site
allows for the (1) transfer of large file sizes that are often restricted in general email accounts, and (2)
11
AACO – Data Collection Questionnaire

secure transmission of data between the intended participants. The following FTP site and data
transmission procedures will be used by all affected parties:
1. The AACO FTP site address and password has been forwarded to the ACAC POC Mr.
Mohamed Rejeb by Airbus ProSky.
2. As AACO collects and transmits its data, the AACO POC will upload the information to the FTP
Site.
3. Upon successful upload to the FTP site, the AACO POC will initiate an email to Mr. Mohamed
Rejeb (Mohamed.rejeb65@gmail.com), indicating that data has been uploaded to the FTP site.
4. Mr. Mohamed Rejeb will confirm the upload of the data to the FTP site, and then initiate an
email to Airbus ProSky (Peter.Hruz@metronaviation.com and
Barbara.Cogliandro@metronaviation.com), indicating that data is available for review.
5. Airbus ProSky will conduct an initial ‘quick-look’ review of the uploaded information to
confirm (1) completion, and (2) level of response detail. If clarification of the data or additional
information is required, Airbus ProSky will advise Mr. Mohamed Rejeb of the needed attention,
who will in turn contact the AACO POC.
6. The FTP site will be eliminated, and its use will no longer available either when the (1) data
collection process has ended, or (2) the project has ended. In either case, Mr. Mohamed Rejeb
will be advised, and he then will advise the AACO POC.
Questionnaire Response Period:
The project team is estimating a reasonable completion and submission period to be 30 days from the
AACO POC’s reception of the questionnaire. We are therefore requesting your finalized input by
February 15, 2016.
The project team requests your support in providing (1) responses that are as thorough and
detailed as possible, and (2) submission of requested/available documentation, so that we can
obtain the best possible understanding of your operations and its needs.
Questions for the project team should be routed through the ACAC Representative, Mohamed Rejeb,
(Mohamed.rejeb65@gmail.com).
Thank you for your time, cooperation, and support.
